Peranakan Museum

I visited the Peranakan Museum with my mother and sister. There was a special exhibit at the museum featuring three women batik stylists from Indonesia. At the exhibit, we also had a chance to digitally generate a batik style based on our preferences, and we were each given a souvenir bookmark of our preferred batik.

Apart from batik, we also admired the intricate arts and crafts on display, in particular ornate beadwork known as manik kusut, which my mother used to make when her eyesight was better.

This was a very worthwhile excursion for me as I am half Peranakan. I really enjoyed learning a little bit more about my heritage.Läs mer
